Challenge: Off The Shelf!

So I saw this challenge on The Reader Room and it sounded like just the thing for me! I love buying books, even though when I haven't read over half of the books I own now, because I love pretty covers and I just can't leave a good story on the shelf.. So I end up buying more than I can read - or my book closet can store, really! I've signed up for the challenge so I actually end up reading the books in my closet!

I already have a page on this blog where I list my to-read books (The Reading Pile) but I thought this would give me a bigger kick in the butt.

Since I've already signed up for the Debut Author Challenge 2011 at The Story Siren, I've decided to go for reading 30 books I already own: Making a Dint. That's already a total of 42 books to read next year!

That´s a pretty big list already.. I need to keep myself from reading those while picking new books to read lol! The challenge starts at January 1st, 2011 so I still have a month to go.. The last two books are not entirely unread: I read Animal Farm about 10 years ago and didn't understand it and I started in Shadow Souls, but I was unable to finish so I'll be picking it up in 2011 again.

I will be adding books (and maybe even changing titles) during the next couple of weeks. This is my draft list, so to say. Wow, that are the books I *have* to read! I'm looking forward to it, I might not even be able to wait to begin with in the upcoming month.. Maybe I should re-read my Harry Potter books to keep me busy haha!

Are you joining in? If so, how many books are you planning on reading?
